JAN CRNGEV, 0l" ST. LOUS, MISSOURI;

FASTENER FOR SOFT-COLLAR PQNTS.

Application filed November 19, 1923.

To all 'whom tmc'g/ concer/n.'

Be it known that I, JAN CnNonv, a subject `of the King of Servia, residing in the city of St. Louis and State` of Missouri, hare invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fasteners'for Soft-Collar Points, of which the following is a specification. l

This invention relates to fasteners or holders for-soft collar points of the turn over style, and has for its object the .provision of a device which is a distinct and practical improvement to overcome certain practical objections to, and defects in, the general form of soft collar point fasteners.

A further object of the .invention is the provision of a device which will be simple and inexpensive in construction, neat in appearance and highly efficient for the purpose intended.

Vith the above and other objects in view. the invention consists in the novel and equivalent features of construction, arrament and combination of parts hereinaicer more fully described and finally pointed out in the claims hereto appended.

Referring to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, wherein like characters of reference denote similar parts throughout the several'views:

Fig. l, is a view in perspective of a conventional soft collar with a collar fastener applied thereto embodying the features of my present invention.

'Fig 2, is an enlarged front elevation of the fastener.

Fig. 3, is a side elevation thereof.

Fig. 4, is a sectional view of the fastener with the fastener pins removed therefrom.

Fig. 5, is a sectional view of the fastener with the pin applied thereto.

Fig. 6, is an end elevation thereof.

Fig. 7, is a view in perspective of one of the fastener pins with a modified form of head. y

Referring to the drawings, the reference character l represents a soft collar for shirts, shirt-Waists and the like, and, 2 indicates the points thereof, which, owing to the fact that little or no starch is used in laundering the collar, the points 2 become easily wrinkled and distorted from their supposed shape when Worn, thereby causing an unsightly appearance unless properly connected, and, it is to overcome this trouble that I have provided the fastener hereinafter fully described. 3 represents a neck-tie.

Serial No. 675,534.

In carrying out the aim of my presentvv invention, .l employ a suitable tubular open. ended socket fastener bar member, which is `preferably square walled in cross-section, although not necessarily limited thereto, as other shaped tnlnilar members may be enr4 ployed, if desired, `'is manifest. The

v fastener member may also be made from any desired material and of any size.

rlhe tubular fastener member consists, as

illustrated, of the straight flat back wall 4,

ga 'e the inner face l2 of the rear wall 4,

xn the fastener pins 13 are removed, as clearly,i shown in Fig. 4. H

The fastener pins 13, two of which are e iployed with. each tubular socket member, may he of any desired length and made from any suitable material and are each provided with the pointed end 14 for penetrating the collar points 2 when the points 2 are not provided with openings. Each pin is also provided at the opposite end from the point llwith a suitable head l5, which head is shown as spherical and solid in Figs. l, 2, 3, and 5, and coiled, as at 16 and provided with the pointed end 17, as shown in Fig. 7, for penetrating` the collar point in applying the same thereto.

It will be observed and understood that when the pins 13 have been applied to the collar points 2 and the pointed ends thereoic forced into the tubular fastener member through the Vc raped outer guide ends 18 thereof between the rear wall 4 and the curved ends l0 of the yielding lips 9, that curved end l() will yieldingly embrace the pins and frictionally hold the pins against the rear wall l of the tubular fastener member thereby preventing acidental displacement of the pins within the tubular fastener, or coupling member and prevent accidental loosening of the pins.

From the foregoing description, it is evident that l provide a very simple tubular fastener or coupling member having yieldable lips for frictionally embracing the fastener pins to prevent displacement thereof While-applied to a collar for connecting the point'sfQ thereofA The many advantages of the herein described invention Will readily suggest themselves to those skilled inthe art to 'Which it appertains.

I do not desire to be understood 4as limit-` ing myself to the exactdetails of construction and arrangement of parts as herein described and illustrated, as it is'manifest that variations and-modifications may bemade Without 'departing` from the spi-rit and scope of my inventiontand the terms of the following claim`s,'hence `I Wish vit to be understood that-I reserve the right toma-ke any such changes,-or modifications aslmay `fairly fall within' the scope oftheappended -claims when fairlyl construed;

What I claim is:

1. In Va fastener struoture,`a fou'rwalled tubular'niember and 4a curved resilient pin 'embracingllip formed at veach end of one of bular open ended fastener member 'having opposite ends curved `upon one side of the member and opposed yieldable pin embracing lips formed from one of the Walls of the' tubil'ar member, the free ends of said lips being .curved and normally embracing the inner face of the opposed Wall of the fastener memben:

4. In a soft collar point fastener structure, a four Walled tubular member, a resilientlip disposed Vat each end of one of the Walls of said member and integral :at'their inner ends therewith, a curved' pin embracing section formed at theouter-end of eachl resilient lip and each 'of said curved pin 4embracing sections-adaptedto friotional-ly engagea pin held in contact yWitltlie Wall ofthe fastener opposite said lembracii'i-'g sections-- 5. A fastener for Vsoftcvollar points comf cidental longitudinal displacement thereof when in embraced coupled relation. l

In testimony whereof,A I Vhave hereunto signed by'name to the specification.
